CVE-2025-47410
📋 TL;DR
Apache Geode's Management and Monitoring REST API is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks via GET requests. An attacker who obtains a user's Geode session credentials can execute malicious commands on the target system as that authenticated user. This affects Apache Geode versions 1.10 through 1.15.1.
💻 Affected Systems
- Apache Geode
📦 What is this software?
Geode by Apache
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full compromise of the Geode cluster allowing data manipulation, service disruption, or lateral movement to connected systems.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access or modification, configuration changes, or service disruption within the Geode environment.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation and authentication controls prevent credential theft and CSRF attacks.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires the attacker to obtain valid session credentials first, then craft CSRF attacks against the REST API.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 1.15.2
Vendor Advisory: https://lists.apache.org/thread/k88tv3rhl4ymsvt4h6qsv7sq10q5prrt
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download Apache Geode 1.15.2 from the official Apache website. 2. Stop all Geode services. 3. Replace existing Geode installation with version 1.15.2. 4. Restart all Geode services. 5. Verify the upgrade was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable REST API
allDisable the Management and Monitoring REST API if not required.
Set http-service-port=0 in gemfire.properties
Implement CSRF Protection
allAdd CSRF tokens to REST API requests and validate them server-side.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the REST API using firewalls or network segmentation
- Implement strong authentication and session management controls
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check the Geode version using 'gfsh version' command. If version is between 1.10 and 1.15.1 inclusive, the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
gfsh versionVerify Fix Applied:
After upgrading, run 'gfsh version' and confirm version is 1.15.2 or higher.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual REST API requests from unexpected sources
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful ones
- Configuration changes via REST API from unusual IP addresses
Network Indicators:
- HTTP GET requests to management endpoints with suspicious parameters
- Requests containing CSRF bypass patterns
